Pancreatic Cancer Research UK
Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund is a national charity dedicated to supporting research to improve diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
Experience with other cancers has shown that increasing awareness of the disease and raising more funding for research can have a huge impact on overcoming the disease. That is our goal for pancreatic cancer.
Wales Air Ambulance
An all Wales charity providing a vital service through emergency air cover for those who face life-threatening illness or injuries.
The service is vital to Wales with its widely scattered population, many in remote and isolated communities far from an A & E hospital. With a 2.9 million population plus high influx of tourists in the summer, the need is created for at least 2 helicopters 7 days a week.
